If you were made the president..............

Though I have my opinion of the war in Iraq, I have to respect the people's views of the situation. Therefore, I would hold a voting session on whether we should pull the troops out of Iraq or continue fighting the war. I would give them all the *true* facts about what's going on, for the most part and what each option would bring then have them decide as a whole for themselves. I can't run the 'Land of the Free' if I'm making decisions for them. Secondly, I believe everyone has the right to bear arms. However, I also believe it has gotten way out of control. I know it will upset a lot of people, but you only really need one weapon per adult. They would also be required to keep it in a government-tested guncase. This is to keep children out of reach of the weapon. A year is not really much time to do what I'd really like check into accomplishing, if I were president. I don't know if it's even feasible. However, the government would be allowed to have money for international relation reasons. The general public would have to rely on trade to survive. They could turn in their money to the government, the government provide them with items (of their choice) within the same value and, if they need anything, they can trade with someone. If they plan on going to a country in which requires money to purchase anything, they could trade items into a government facility as an exchange for foreign currency. I know it sounds lame and most everyone would have a fit about it, but I believe it would put into play just how valuable things are and how important it is to not waste anything. We Americans waste too much food, too many used things that someone else may absolutely need.
